The urethra is the tube that connects the bladder to the exterior of the body. Cancer of the urethra is a very rare condition.
Histological evidence is required from a biopsy or excision specimen.
The relevant medical specialist is a urologist.
Clinical onset will be at the time of diagnosis, or may be able to be backdated to when relevant urinary symptoms (particularly bleeding) or a perineal or penile lump were first noticed.
The only SOP worsening factor is for inability to obtain appropriate clinical management.

Medical Report - Therapeutic Radiation to the Region of the Pelvis or Perineum [MR9404] Preliminary questions [12227]
39402 [6] the veteran has transitional cell carcinoma of the urethra. the veteran has undergone a course of therapeutic radiation to the region of the pelvis or perineum at some time. the veteran underwent a course of therapeutic radiation to the region of the pelvis or perineum where the first exposure occurred at least five years before the clinical onset of the condition under consideration. the veteran underwent a course of therapeutic radiation to the region of the pelvis or perineum where the first exposure occurred at least five years before the clinical onset of the condition under consideration for treatment of an illness or injury which is identifiable. [10]
39407 — the veteran has established the causal connection between the course of therapeutic radiation to the region of the pelvis or perineum and operational service for the clinical onset of malignant neoplasm of the urethra.
Clinical onset and operational service [39407]
39406 — the identified illness or injury for which the course of therapeutic radiation to the region of the pelvis or perineum was undergone is causally related to operational service. [11]
Malignant neoplasm of the urethra - No appropriate clinical management for malignant neoplasm of the urethra Factor

Investigative Documents
Medical Report - Inability to Obtain Appropriate Clinical Management - [GQACM] Preliminary questions [12228] 11109 — the condition under consideration has been accepted on the basis of inability to obtain appropriate clinical management for the condition under consideration.
7334 [13] the clinical onset of the condition under consideration occurred after the end of the veteran's last period of VEA service. the condition under consideration permanently worsened. the veteran was unable to obtain appropriate clinical management for the condition under consideration at some time.
7379 [16] the inability to obtain appropriate clinical management for the condition under consideration contributed to the clinical worsening of the condition under consideration. 11234 — the veteran has established the causal connection between the inability to obtain appropriate clinical management for the condition under consideration and VEA service for the clinical worsening of the condition under consideration. 11235 — the veteran has established the causal connection between the inability to obtain appropriate clinical management for the condition under consideration and operational service for the clinical worsening of the condition under consideration. or 11236 — the veteran has established the causal connection between the inability to obtain appropriate clinical management for the condition under consideration and eligible service for the clinical worsening of the condition under consideration. Clinical worsening and operational service [11235] or 7390 — the identified illness or injury which prevented the veteran from obtaining appropriate clinical management for the condition under consideration is causally related to operational service. [21] [22] Clinical worsening and eligible service [11236] or 7391 — the identified illness or injury which prevented the veteran from obtaining appropriate clinical management for the condition under consideration is causally related to eligible service.
